The role of the Supported Employment Service (SES) is to support people with a disability or long-term health condition to gain and sustain paid employment.
Supported Employment Advisers are trained to identify and understand an individual’s assets, skills, strengths, gifts and talents. This helps us to understand what is important to our customers, to focus on their needs and aspirations, to have positive conversations and to consider the customer as a whole. By really getting to know an individual, advisers are able to identify more creative and meaningful ways to provide support for employment and enable the individual to work as independently as possible and sustain their employment.
We support people to find jobs that they can do and more importantly, jobs they want to do.
‘Skills for Success’ will engage adults with additional support needs in inclusive, accessible, ‘football inspired’ learning opportunities that empowers positive aspirations for their future. Inspired by the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’, activities will support attainment of outcomes related to improved confidence, independence, life-skills, and pathways into further learning and employment.
